At 80-90% you're doing significantly better than I am. Love the show, even though I can barely comprehend what's going on.dswallow said:OK, I think I'm officially scared now. I must've followed at least 80-90% of what John said this episode, and it all made sense. Makes me wonder if I rewatch everything prior I'll understand it much better.

Feel free to spoilerize an explanation of the 80-90% that you followed. I could use all the help I can get.dswallow said:OK, I think I'm officially scared now.

I think the moment of understanding for me arrived when John was in the van and said something like "better she shoot me than shoot herself" right after we saw Cissy getting the gun from Kai's trailer, then John collapsed into his chair and appeared in front of Cissy's window. That sequence made it real obvious how John's dialog generally comes about and is meant to be interpreted, and then much of it started making a lot of sense. The hard part is following a lot of it since it quickly moves between different characters and there's not any real clue except the context of the statement as to which character it's about, so it takes a lot of thinking time to figure out and it all goes too fast to dwell much on any one thing.knownzero said:At 80-90% you're doing significantly better than I am.

According to John, he was the guy who...let's say "abused" Barry in room 24 way back when.teknikel said:Oh yeah, who is the dead guy?
Thanks. I guess that was in the 35% I didn't get.InterMurph said:According to John, he was the guy who...let's say "abused" Barry in room 24 way back when.
I don't know that he "fixed" everybody, but Butchie and Kai sure seemed happy after it was over. I'd think reliving that memory of his mom showing him "how to do it" would make him break down. Especially after how messed up he was on the phone with Tina.PJO1966 said:The revelation about Cissy and Butchie had my jaw hanging open for a good minute. I really didn't see that one coming.
His monologue at the cookout had me very confused. I asked aloud what the hell had just happened. Gene's take was that he fixed everybody.
I'm still very confused, but really enjoying it.
